Fire & Water Wysps

Wysps should be nothing more than Tiny elementals.Instead they are sympathetic supporters of
other elemental creatures (and kineticists), living batteries that can
sacrifice themselves for those with whom they resonate, and instinctive
musicians whose symphonies may have had their origins in the multiverse’s
creation.Perhaps the fabled Music of
the Spheres isn’t really about the movement of celestial bodies at all, but
refers instead to the songs of these helpful orbs…

Lynden Aethersmith—he
picked the name himself—had grand plans to unlock the secrets of the multiverse,
beginning with the binding of an aether wysp.Not having the proper level of skill, he failed utterly.However, his wild gyrations and
pseudo-ceremonies did attract the attention of a curious but shy fire
wysp.The wysp now follows the
disconsolate Lynden around from a discreet distance…inadvertently starting
several fires, which is why he now finds himself branded the town arsonist.

A water elementalist
mage is studying the properties of a font of elemental power, and has
befriended a cloud of water wysps along the way.The local ooze mephit grand poobah regards
these wysps as his vassals and is determined to seek retribution.

A ring of dancing
sprites is led not by another fey, but by a water wysp conductor.The sprites are all bards and kineticists
gifted in water and ice magic, and the wysps will aid them in any way they can,
up to and including sacrificing themselves to guard their conductor and the
sacred glade.

Edit: Due to the
differences in Tumblr and Blogger’s formats, you loyal Blogger readers never
got the link to last week’s radio show.Here it is, but be warned you’ve got less than 30 minutes to grab
it.Huge apologies!

Last night’s [Tuesday’s]
radio show had to do a lot of work—say goodbye to summer, welcome UMD students
back to campus for a new semester, serve up new artists, and celebrate two big
anniversaries: 30 years of Paul Simon’s Graceland
and 20 years of Pearl Jam’s No Code.
All in all, it was a busy two hours. Stream or download it here.

Link good till Monday, September 5, at midnight.)

IMPORTANT PS: If you’ve ever bookmarked my show link,
bookmark it again.They’ve corrected the
typo in the link so that it says “Canon,” not “Cannon.”

By the way, please forgive the occasional typos. I am aware of them, but disagreements between MS Word and the Blogger template make my entries nearly impossible to edit once posted. I blame gremlins. You can find a more polished version of this blog over on Tumblr.
